Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
It’s World Backup Day today. Yes, that’s right, there’s a World Backup Day, your annual reminder to set up a system to back up your stuff so that you don’t lose it all in the event of a hard drive crash! So, we’ve been looking around the web to find the best deals on memory cards, hard drives and SSD storage so that you can take your backup game up to the next level this year.
We’ll be updating this list throughout the day as we spot more deals, so bookmark it and keep checking back!
We’re rapidly approaching Black Friday, but as usual, some companies seem to start their sales a little early. Amazon, not content with Prime Day, seems to be leading the charge with some big discounts that can be beneficial for photographers and filmmakers at the moment. Mainly, that means storage. We’ll have our usual Black Friday deals post coming on Friday, but here are the best storage deals we’ve seen on Amazon so far this week. We’ll update this post as we spot more.
Adobe has just published their Black Friday deals and not only are they running some very attractive offers but they’re starting the sale early. As of today, you can get 40% off an Adobe Creative Cloud membership plan containing the entire CC suite of applications for individuals, almost 40% for businesses and almost 70% if you’re a student or teacher.
There is, naturally, a caveat. This cost is only good for a year. You can’t pre-pay for a decade at the reduced price. But, you’ll be locked into this price for the next 12 months and that’s all you’ll pay. When it comes time to renew, it’ll come back up to regular price – unless Adobe runs a similar deal in 2022 and you can get a reduced rate again next year.
Amazon has kicked off its Prime Day deals on time this year and as usual, there are quite a lot of them. Despite the name, the event goes on for two days and we’ll be listing the best deals we find here.
Not all of these deals have gone live just yet (it’s still early), and some will disappear as they sell out. We’ll keep updating the list as we find more, so keep checking back regularly. Have you spotted any we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments!
Everyone likes a great deal and here at DIYP, we are no different. We partnered with the great folks at 5DayDeal to bring you a stellar package valued at over $4,000 for only $157. That’s about 95 percent savings.
Technically, almost any of the products in the package are typically sold for over $160, so even if you just found one good product, you are already at a profit here.
With everything that’s been happening this year, the fate of Prime Day 2020 was unknown until very recently when Amazon announced that Prime Day (which is actually two days, or sometimes a whole week depending on the seller) was going to begin… well, today. Now.
Here are some of the best deals we’ve found so far. We’ll keep updating this list as we spot more, so keep checking back. Let us know if you see any you think we’re missing that we should include!
It’s Amazon Prime day again, although I’m not sure the name’s entirely accurate now as it seems to be lasting for two days. But we’re going to be keeping our eyes out for deals on Amazon Prime today and tomorrow for photographers and filmmakers. So, keep checking back, as this list will grow throughout the event.
Maybe you’ll see something you’ve been after for a while at a bargain price, or perhaps something you hadn’t considered will catch your eye! And if you’re not a Prime member, don’t forget that B&H is running some sales right now, too.
We’re always looking out for good deals at DIYP, as I imagine most of you reading this are, too. Well, Sony’s announced its “Step Up To Sony” sales event, with some pretty heavy discounts of up to $1,000 on their most popular bodies, including the Sony A7II, A7RII, A7RIII and A9.
If you’ve been thinking about grabbing a Sony, these discounts run until June 22nd, so you have a little time. But those next three weeks will pass quickly. So, don’t wait too long!
Adobe’s been getting a lot of press lately. Some good, but mostly bad. It’s caused a lot of people to become very upset, particularly people on Twitter who don’t understand what the word “subscription” means and think they’re still buying a perpetual license. Regardless, it’s bound to have lost Adobe a few subscribers.
To help draw in some fresh ones, though, Adobe is knocking 40% off the “All Apps” package in at least the USA and the UK. The regular $52.99/mo US package drops to $29.99/mo, and the UK’s £49.94 package comes down to a somewhat more manageable £30.34/mo.
Almost eight years ago we set out a lofty goal, put a ring flash in the hands of every hot-shoe-strobe photographer in the world. This is why we made the best DIY ring flash in existence and sold it for a low price of $35 (including a flash bracket).
Alas, all good things must end, and once the current batch of rings lights runs out, we will not make another. On the other hand, I see that many photographers still do not have a ring flash. This is your opportunity to score a ring flash for $14.99 only.
Why am I telling you this? Because this will be your chance to try out a ring flash for $14.99 (both ring and bracket). All you need is a hot shoe flash and a way to trigger the flash off camera.
